Just pure speculation on Your side,
if You do not know about ADATA most probably You will not need it.
in general EXITS HOOKS are provided so that the user will be able to alter the standard behavior when it ( the standard ) does not satisfy his needs
the ADEXIT will let the user process in any way he prefers the ADATA records/dataset. |

| As enrico says, unless you have a (technical) requirement to process the ADATA output, then you can safely ignore it, it will do nothing for you. |

We have a tool that was coded few years back that compiles a module using ADEXIT option and is supposed to process the output (at this point, I do not know what the output is. Just trying to get the tool up and running) to generate the report. Unfortunately there is no documentation available for the tool. I was just curious to know how and why we use this option.
Since the tool has not been working as it should have we are not using it. And again, since we are not using it for a long time, most of the datasets that were used by the tool got deleted  .
I was trying to debug and ran into ADEXIT which is a new thing for me. Is there any documentation available as to how to use this compiler option? What all changes are needed in the compilation job, what details should be present in SYSADATA dataset? |

| Yes, you want to look at the Programming Guide for your version of COBOL. Use, examples, JCL changes. |

I could finally get the tool going. Thank You for the directions.
Just to share,
Pass the compiler option EXIT(ADEXIT(,EXITROUT) to IGYCRCTL, where EXITROUT is your exit routine.
| Code: |
//STEP050 EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL, IBM-DEBUG/COBOL COMPILER
// COND=(4,LT),
// PARM=('BUF(256K),F(I,E),ADATA,LIB,NOX,NOS,AR(E),NUMPROC(MIG),NOSEQ,LC(90),EXIT(ADEXIT(,EXITROUT)')
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PDS.WHERE.EXIT.ROUTINE.LOAD.MODULE.IS.PRESENT
//SYSADATA DD DSN=YOUR.SYSADATA.OUTPUT,
// DCB=(LRECL=32756,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=VB),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),
// UNIT=SYSDA

Thanks for posting the information.
I think the compile/linkedit(binder) options you used are worth posting as well :-) |

This is what I used.
| Code: |
STEP070 EXEC PGM=IEWBLINK, IBM-DEBUG/LINKAGE EDITOR
COND=(4,LT),
PARM=(CALL,LET,LIST,XREF) |
